Ifill: There was nothing I could do

Moderator of last week's vice presidential debate, Gwen Ifill had a little powwow with Tom Brokaw, David Gregory and Co. to discuss everyone's favorite hockey mom and her performance in last week's debate.

Ifill also defends her decision not to respond to right-wings lambasting her for writing a book that they believed was about Sen. Obama, but rather, is about the turn politics has taken in the last few years with particular regard to African Americans. Check it out below.

MSNBC tries to revive their good name

Or rather, their unbiased name. Ohhhh, that's right, they never had one.

MSNBC has demoted Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews to every reporter's nightmare, mere analysts. This is their punishment for failing to eject their liberal bias from their coverage of the election.

After months of accusations of political bias and tension between MSNBC and its parent network NBC, it was decided that David Gregory would succeed the role of anchor in the network's election coverage.

The problem with this scenario, is the majority of MSNBC's viewers tune in to hear that liberal bias. MSNBC intelligently emulated FOX' success with political leaning.

Something tells me they will try, and subsequently fail with their "straight talk" experiment.
